Care and Maintenance
IMPORTANT : DO NOT PERFORM MAINTENANCE OR CLEANING OF THE
EXTRACTOR WITHOUT FIRST SWITCHING OFF THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY.
Cleaning
You should use a nonabrasive cleaner. Any abrasive cleaner (including Cif) will
scratch the surface and could erase the control panel markings.
You can clean your extractor effectively by simply using a dilute solution of water
and mild detergent and drying to a shine with a clean cloth.
Cleaning the grease filter
The grease filter should be kept clean to minimise the risk of fire.
At least once a month you should remove and clean the grease filter with hot
soapy water. You can also wash the grease filter in a dishwasher, ensuring that
you place it in an upright position to prevent damage from other items in the
dishwasher. After rinsing and drying, replace the filter.
To remove the grease filter pull open the handle on the grease filter as shown in
fig. 2. It will release at the handle side. Then lower the grease filter to remove it
completely.
To replace the grease filter, repeat the steps in reverse.
Please note:
Cleaning the grease filter in the dishwasher may lead to discolouration. This is
normal and does not constitute a fault with the appliance.
Changing the charcoal filter (re-circulating only)
The charcoal filter must be replaced every four to six months, depending on use.
To attach a new charcoal filter, first remove the grease filter as shown in figure 2.
Then offer up the charcoal filter into the frame as shown in figure 3 until it locks
into place.
